Digital Innovation in Energy & Sustainability
The energy transition is continuing to rapidly accelerate, creating opportunities and challenges for companies looking to stay competitive and actively manage their energy and sustainability portfolio. The energy landscape is more connected, resilient and core to the bottom line. And that calls for more digital, inclusive and real-time action. The deployment of AI is revolutionizing everything we do, designing a new digital world around us. At Schneider Electric, when looking at the issues facing our world in sustainability and energy, we see a next-level world. One where both AI and multi-local human expertise are combined to drive efficiency, action and accelerate results.
During this session, hear what's next: Next-level energy and sustainability powered by next-generation technology; where connected systems leverage next age energy and technology and driving new impact for businesses.

Creating a Roadmap to 2050
A new movement has begun, with companies playing a larger role in leading the fight against climate change. The need for a low-carbon future has become undeniable and action is needed now to curb the worst outcomes.
This call to action spurred organizations and businesses to gain a better understanding and a more defined plan to mitigate climate change, and leading companies are now factoring climate change into their business strategy. And those who have looked to meet these aggressive climate goals are identifying opportunities in innovation.
In this session, join leaders of companies who have taken steps toward net-zero action, creating a path for others in the industry to create and act on bold energy goals by taking a combined approach to their energy, efficiency and sustainability approach.
